Studio Vlog #24 | making plans for August, new download, bead shop update & TONS of beading jewelry

[@fificrossnails]

Thanks for another fascinating insight into your business. The earrings look great in those colour combinations; I’ve made a couple of pairs of them: one in turquoise, brown and gold, and the other in shades of green and bronze and I love wearing them. Can’t wait for the bead embroidery tutorials!

[@bafflingbeads]

Thank you so much for your feedback! Yes, I've seen those earrings on your IG - very pretty! 😊 I am quite pleased with the new color combinations - next I need to finish that download. As always - so many things to do! I'll be back with a new vlog very soon 🌞

Hi Maria, your apartment looks so cozy now! Cute couch I don’t blame you for wanting to sit on it more lol. Definitely interested in seeing a real bead factory if you are able to share that! Beautiful work as usual, thanks for sharing!

[@bafflingbeads]

Heyhey 😊 by now I am back from my trip and I am recording the next vlog. Sadly I don't have any footage from my visit at the glass bead manufacturer but I will chat about it for a little bit. I definitely want to go back - so maybe next time. If I can keep my anxiety in check... It gets a little homier with every passing month and I am very happy to live in this apartment! Thank you for watching ❤️

Hello Maria, love watching your videos and love love watching you bead as well as your thoughts on what colours go together there beautiful ❤ wishing you all the best Love from Australia 😊

[@bafflingbeads]

Thank you so much Rachel 🌞 Design and color choice takes quite some time so I am always unsure what to include in my vlogs because so much thinking goes into everything. Otherwise if you don't include these aspects everything looks so super easy even though it really isn't. I guess I'll just stick to what I feel like doing and showing and then that's what you lovely lot will get 😄

Also the pendants are stunning,so beautiful

[@bafflingbeads]

Thank you! I love beading these pendants! And bead embroidery is so calming - I prefer it these days tbh 🌞 maybe it's time to sit down and design some new fringe earrings 😄

Hello! Just watched your video. Love your apartment, how the natural light comes in through the roof. I like the Bronzite cabs, and the moonstones are gorgeous! Can't wait to see what you do with them 😊 I bought the suede faux lace and leather and have some cabs to make but I haven't yet tried that type of embroidery. I need to watch more tutorials. I would LOVE to visit Czech glass factories some day but afraid I would go broke! Soooo many beautiful beads, would be hard to not want them all 😊

[@bafflingbeads]

Thank you for watching my vlog! Yes, I adore my new living space - it works very well for me and my needs ☺️ Hopefully you can figure something out what to do with your cabs. It was a really bead habit of mine to buy all the beautiful sparkly things and then I never knew what to do with them - but I get better 😄 I really enjoyed my time in the Czech republic - I will chat a little bit about it in my next vlogs, sadly I don't have footage but maybe next time - because I definitely want to return! And I spent way more money than I had originally planned - but that's ok 🌞

Hey Maria, love your green sofa and i especially love 2mm beads, they always make earrings look so elegant, you're looking really well

[@bafflingbeads]

I love my sofa! It's so pretty! And so comfy! I am laying on it right now while replying to comments 😄 and yes, 2mm fire-polished beads are still my favorite. I even got some more! I will show them in the next vlog 🌞 I am also feeling quite well - I wish I was a little more stable in my mood but overall I am doing good! Thank you ❤️ Wishing you all the best as well!

Would you do a video on how to package and ship the earrings? I just sold my first pair of fringe earrings but I’m unsure how to secure them to mail. Thanks

[@bafflingbeads]

Hi! Sure I can do that some time 😊 but currently I don't have open orders. There should be vlogs where I pack some earrings - so maybe check some earlier ones. I don't include it often because I enjoy recording the process of creating something new more. Backing cards really help so that your earrings don't bend during the transport. And congrats to your first earring sale! I am sure you will have many more - have fun! And thank you for being here! 🌞

[@Joannsaudia]

Are you doing anymore tutorials. Love to watch very relaxing.

[@bafflingbeads]

Yes, I will make more tutorials. Currently I just don't have as much time as I had a few months ago 🙂

[@Gabby-SP]

Hello Maria! Greetings from Texas, USA!🤠 I love all your creations and content. Have you thought about selling kits? It would be amazing if you actually do it! Thanks for sharing aspects of your life and your talent. Take care💜

[@bafflingbeads]

Hi there! Thank you for spending your precious time on my channel! Yes - I have absolutely thought about kits but sadly I currently just don't have the time to organize something like this. Maybe at some point in the future. Currently I prefer to focus on my own jewelry and on the side I sell the beads that I love using in my own crafts. But whole kits is a whole other level. I have this idea on the back of my mind - who know - maybe some time. But thank you for asking about it! 😊

[@katherinestott8410]

Hi Maria! So nice to see a new vlog! I miss you when you’re gone! Sooo, boyfriend??? New one, or is this the same boyfriend from before? ☺️

[@bafflingbeads]

Heyhey 🌞 thank you! I will be back with vlogs and a tutorial very soon! It's a new boyfriend - we've known each other for a few years now - as a loose contact but somehow this happened... and I think we match very easily and it feels very natural and easy-going. So I am very happy about this development. Didn't see that one coming 😄 see you soon! ❤️
